Blood donation, are you scared?

Last week, I responded to my friend, Kho from Dayang, for blood donation. I donate blood regularly. Everything has the first time and I must admit that I was a little scare. Then, I realised that the only part that was a little scary was the pricking of the finger for a drop of blood. At that time, the poking was manual and it was a little painful. First, they poked on the finger tip. Now, here is the secret... ask them to poke at the side of the finger tip as it is less painful.

I was the last to arrive. The house was full. 70+ people registered and only 50+ qualify. The blood donation process is quite simple. Fill in a form, register, take blood sample to ensure that you have enough blood, etc. Take your blood pressure. If all cleared...

... a jab of local anesthetic. No pain here!

Then the big needle is inserted into the vein. Totally no pain due to the above jab!

Secure the needle.

Let the blood flow... until the package is full. For men, it is 1 pint, for ladies, it is less... can't remember how much now.

... done.

The day's harvest! About 51 packages.

Welcome

Dear Visitor,

I am pleased that you have come to my blogs. Please do browse around. One of the initial objective for my blog is to report on latest event or happening. Now that many people have smart phone and can post latest news faster than anyone. So, I will not blog on event anymore. Perhaps, only selectively. I will now shift my attention to my photography. Hence, the blog objectives (not necessarily in order) are:

1.Exercise;

2. My photography;

3.Latest local news or events which is worth my time to blog;

4.Inspirational articles;

5.Humours.

I don’t normally write a lot but rather use my photos to tell the story.
